Almost three years ago I gleefully joined Regis University as their new Assistant Professor of Mathematics!

This followed on the heels of 7 years of employment as a mathematician and software-developer with International Business Machines Printing Systems in Boulder, Colorado.  Before joining IBM, I spent eight years teaching mathematics and statistics at the undergraduate level in both university and community college settings.  Almost immediately after I received my doctorate, I stumbled across an opportunity to work for IBM as an intern, working with a team to develop a new high-speed industrial color printer. Having been a starving student for so many years and needing a break from academia, I went for it! It was an amazing experience and a productive one as well. Over seven years at IBM I was a co-inventor on 12 patents, and published 4 papers. Most of this work is in the area of signal and image processing, with a specific focus on JPEG image processing.

That was all well-and-good, but this is better.  Home is where the heart is, eh?

When I'm not focused on teaching I spend my time with my dog-friends Cali and Cedar.  This may also include activities like mountain biking, making music, or video gaming. 

I'm also very interested in critical thinking and skepticism, so if you'd ever like to chat about such matters, please stop by sometime.
